Reviews for JAMBOX by Jawbone Wireless Speaker

We've been using one up at our office since xmas and let me tell you, it's amazing. Great sound coming from such a tiny portable box. It's great to throw in a bag and use on the road in hotels to having a wireless system in the restroom while showering.

Of course it's not some gigantic system that will power a nightclub, but if you are looking for some great sounding speakers that are (1) wireless, (2) rugged, & (3) great sounding, look no further.

I was totally impressed by my buddies in the office that I (and a few others) bought ones for our house and office.

This is my SECOND Jambox and only because the first one I bought essentially didn't work or if it did, only sporadically. The worst part was the hassle I had to go through to get it replaced. Yes, Jambox did finally send me a new one but said that I would have no guarantee on it, because I refused to pay for the postage to California (from BC) - - heck, why should I when I'd spent $200 on a 'Jambox guaranteed' device that didn't work?

The 2nd one, while better, still has issues: pop and hiss like our old LPs for crying out loud! Blue tooth failure? I don't know why this happens everyday several times a day in mid-stream. Then, the delay to get it to connect with its annoying blooping noise. The amount of TIME I spend on trying to reconnect is a total pain!

On the positive side, when it's working properly, in a small space, it can sound good (not loads of volume but certainly adequate for the size). Packing up is easy: you can throw it in a backpack or purse and off you go.

In the end I would not buy another Jambox: too expensive for the hassle.

I really wanted wireless Bluetooth speaker to go with my iPhone 5
So after my One to One class was finished, I asked if this product would work with
my iPhone 5??
Well........ IT DOES NOT!!! I even disabled Siri to see if it would help- no dice
So I had my wife try to pair it- it connected for a second but then nothing.
She deleted the JAWBONE from my settings. When she paired it on her iPhone 4 &
Our daughter's iPhone 4S -- IT WORKED!!
I'm so disappointed. My wife is mad because the sales person should've done compatibility search in the APPLE STORE before selling it to me.....

I want to love this product, but I just can't. It has wonderful potential because of all the bells and whistles it has built into it, but it fails short of it's primary goal as conference call box and wireless speaker. It fails as a conference all box because the mic SUUUUCKS and the speakers in general or just ok.

Yes, it is small. Perhaps too small, it can't handle descent surround or even stereo sound effects. And there is subtle whining sound that discomforts my ears. I am returning it.

Way too expensive.the sound is not even that good. I should have bought 2 Philips DS3000 instead.

Very expensive, substandard audio - forget the good for its size the fundamental question is does it sound good - answer no. Synchronise with a web site for apps ? Cool. Reality- 100% dead. AVOID.

I got the JAMBOX yesterday @!apple's Black Friday sale and found it better than my expectations. The sound is pure and true. The bass is amazing for such a small device

My 3.5 year old granddaughter and I created a new hide and seek game with a grandfather clock mp3 sound tracks. I would hide the jam box in different places around the house including the inside the refrigerator she then would look and listen to find it. Great fun.

Today we put the jam box in the coal car of the Lionel train and set up various train soundtracks very realistic and fun. Try that with wired speakers. "Thomas the Train" you tube entertained her the best with video on the iPad and sound traveling with the train.

For any train geeks this is the latest in model train realism.

She said the best part of Thanksgiving was playing with Grampa's newest toy and train.
